I sighed loudly for the twentieth time that day. I rolled my head around trying to get the kink out of my neck. I pressed the next button on my iPod before looking up at my mom.
"How much longer?" I whined as she shook her head at me.
"Gabi you were never the patient type. We'll be there in a little bit." Mom said as I looked next to me and saw Joe sleeping peacefully.
We had entered North Carolina about an hour ago and we were getting closer and closer to the college. My stomach was twisted in knots and butterflies.
My phone vibrated in my pocket as I reached for it. I flipped it open and put it to my ear.
"Yes prince charming?" I asked listening to the other person breathe on the other end.
"Prince Charming? Hm . . . that's a new one. Take a look out your window." Troy's voice came over the line.
"What am I looking at exactly?" I asked sticking my head out the window.
"Welcome to Duke University, Gabi." Troy said over the phone as we drove onto the campus.
"Oh wow." I said looking at the window as we drove down the main drive on campus.
"This is where we're going to school." Troy said into the phone as I grinned.
"This is going to be awesome." I said before watching my mom follow the line of cars into a parking lot.
"Oh Tess says we're getting out and going to walk around a little before going to the hotel for the night." Troy told me.
"All right I'll see you in a minute." I told him hanging up the phone.
"Ready to go explore Gabi?" Mom asked as I grinned in reply.
"More than ready." I told her as she pulled to a stop and we piled out of the car.
I walked over to where everyone was standing. Troy grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.
"Excited that we're finally here?" Troy asked looking over at me.
"More like relief. We're really going to college here." I said as he picked me up and spun me around.
"What do you guys think?" Chad asked bouncing over to where Troy and I were.
"This is pretty cool. I still can't believe we're going to college here." I said shaking my head.
"I know this is going to be absolutely amazing." Taylor said as we both grinned at our boyfriends.
"How about we walk around a little before going to the hotel for the night?" Tom, Chad's dad, suggested as we all agreed.
We all agreed and started walking around the campus. Troy and I were both holding hands and looking at the places that we would familiarize ourselves with.
"Remember you need to call your parents." I said looking over at him.
"It's all ready done. Tess and I called them before I called you." Troy told me grinning.
"Well you're on top of your game." I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"You know it babe." He said kissing my cheek before we caught up to the rest.
We continued walking while Troy pointed out different places to me. We passed by the stadium and Troy quickly pointed it out to me.
"Are we going to be spending a lot of time there?" I asked looking at him.
"Oh you know it babe. We're going to root our football team on." Troy told me hugging me closer to his side.
"Oh joy." I told him waving my finger in the air with excitement.
"Gabi look." Troy said pointing to the huge building that we stood in front of.
"What's that?" I asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned in close to my ear.
"That's my new home." Troy whispered as I turned around and looked at him in shock.
"You're going to live there? That's pretty cool." I told him with a smile on my face.
"No that's Cameron Indoor Stadium. That's where you'll be spending all the home games cheering me on." Troy said as I smiled.
"Do I have to?" I asked before he leaned down and kissed my lips.
"Yes you do. You promised, remember?" He asked as I threw my arms around his shoulders.
"I do indeed remember our promise. At least I'll get to see a couple of hot basketball players' show their stuff on the court." I told him grinning.
"I hope one of those guys is me." Troy said showing off his perfect smile.
"You're the only one I'm going to be staring at during all of those games." I told him winking.
"Good because that's how it should be." He said before kissing me again.
"Will you two love birds hurry up? We're going back to the hotel." Chad said looking at Troy and me.
"Hold on your horses. I was just talking to Gabi." Troy hollered back.
"More like lip locking with her." Chad shot back as we walked up to him.
"Watch it bud. You're still not out of hot water from the little prank you pulled a couple of days ago." I said pointing my finger towards Chad.
"I heed your little warning! I promise!" Chad said putting his hands up in innocence.
We laughed before catching up to our families. We headed back to the cars and drove over to the hotel before relaxing for that night, knowing we would have a long day ahead of us in the morning.
It's in the silences, I promise you, ooh I see you look at me,
the words you never say
I see it in your eyes,
it always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know,
is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay together, anymore?
from the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never love again
With everything I am
when you think I'm not aware
You're searching for clues,
of just how deep my feelings are.
How do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide?
All I know is how I feel,
when I look into your eyes
